Council hears department requests in workshop on four-year CIP; Fire Station expansion flagged
Summary
At a March 31 workshop, Tega Cay department heads presented four-year Capital Improvement Plan priorities including a proposed expansion of Fire Station 1, an earlier-than-planned Code Enforcement hire, IT server replacement and ADA-related pool repairs; council asked staff for a prioritization schedule.
Tega Cay department heads presented their proposed four-year Capital Improvement Plans in a March 31 workshop, highlighting infrastructure, staffing and compliance needs across public safety, parks, utilities and administration.
Fire Chief Glyn Hasty urged council to expand Fire Station 1 to address growth-driven response-time concerns and to add training space, office space for an administrative assistant, sleeping quarters and a Fire Marshal position; council members discussed the projected cost implications of station expansion.
Development Services Director Nick Cauthen requested moving a planned Code Enforcement officer from the 2027–28 forecast into the 2026–27 budget. City Manager Charlie Funderburk reviewed Administration requests including IT server work scheduled for 2026–27. Tim Gillette presented a brief Public Works and Stormwater CIP with minimal discussion.
Police Chief Joey Crosby recommended adding a Victims Advocate and an interactive training system to the 2026–27 forecast. Parks and Recreation Director Dustin Overton emphasized prioritizing infrastructure maintenance timed around activity seasons and raised detailed concerns about the pool deck, ADA compliance, lighting at Turner and conditions at Runde Park driven by compliance and insurance risk. Tega Cay Utility District Director Antonio Maturo said TCUD’s CIP is funded primarily by enterprise fees and showed recurring improvement projections across the four-year window.
Mayor Carmen S. Miller asked staff to produce a prioritization schedule that reflects citywide needs and not only department-level requests; councilmembers thanked department heads for their work. Staff will use the prioritization guidance as they prepare the upcoming budget.
